3.  Bring a large skillet, sauté the chicken with the olive oil until it takes the white color and is very tender. Remove the chicken pieces and keep them aside.
4.  Saute the onions until they become transparent.
5. Put in with the onions the spices, garlic, Tabasco, olives, lemon juice, potatoes and the water.
6. Cover and cook for about 7 minutes.
